That’s true for me, but I’ve found that the easier and more streamlined my note-taking apparatus is, the less effective it is at helping my memory to congeal. I just keep a scrap of paper handy and jot stuff down occasionally. I’m trying out a Techo this year, so that’s a step more sophisticated. Handwriting seems to be the important bit for me.

I've found hand written notes to be important for me. I have dozens of filled notebooks in my office that I've never read again. The act of writing things down by hand helps to lock them in my brain. I've tried to take notes electronically, but I find I don't retain as much. Something about pen to paper helps me retain information.
